Miura 2012 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands
$ 64.99
A fantastic new small-production California Pinot! Miura Vineyards is a partnership between two U.C. Davis roommates, Emanuel Kemiji and Byron Kosuge. Kemiji has degrees in Economics and Spanish Literature, but also studied Viticulture and Oenongy at Davis. In 1989 he became the thirteenth American to pass the Master Sommelier exam, and one of only seven to date to pass on the first attempt. In the same year he was chosen "Sommelier of the Year" while Director of Wine & Spirits at he the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco. In 1995, Kemiji decided to try his hand at winemaking, and formed Miura Vineyards.
A very juicy Pinot from this famed Central Coast site, favoring brightness and acidity over rich fat fruit. Ah, but fruit abounds, too--particularly strawberries and cranberries--balanced by tangy acid and a long, silken structure. Spice on the close keeps things interesting till the very last sip. A lovely Pinot to enjoy with exotic foods, try Moroccan lamb or chicken tagine. Only a few hundred cases were produced. Tiny production, hard to find, fantastic Pinot Noir to snap up while its available.

$ 49.99
New Pinot Release from A.P. Vin, one of Pinot's hottest up and coming labels and sourced from the famous Gary's Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands.
94 Point Robert Parker: "From a vintage that had big yields and heavy cluster weights (harvest started mid-September and finished late in October), the 2014 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard (saw 11 months in 50% new oak) is a stunner that's up with the creme de la creme of the vintage. Forest floor, strawberries, plums, earth and underbrush all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, elegant and silky Pinot Noir that has fine tannin, no hard edges and impeccable balance. It's another terrific wine from winemaker Andrew Vingiello....Winemaker Andrew Vingiello continues to make a bevy of brilliant wines. They’re always packed with fruit, yet never lose typicity or soul. All of these Pinot Noirs were mostly destemmed (a few have 25% whole cluster) and aged in French oak barrels, with an average of 50% new."
